    And yet, I and many others will vote for him. We cannot let Trump anywhere near the presidency. I honestly would vote for a dead frog over Trump. The staff that’s in place is competent, have done well for us, and I believe they’ll hold things together until Kamala takes over.

    Of course we would all rather a much younger, charismatic candidate, but it is what it is.

    At this point, I truly believe most Democratic voters understand the assignment.

      A rabid chimp wielding a machete would honestly be safer than another Trump presidency.

      We know you’ll vote for anyone with a “D” next to their name. Being a “safe” voter means the party doesn’t have to try and earn your vote. Thus, you can be safely ignored, because appealing to you won’t raise enthusiasm among undecided voters.

      What’s amusing to me is how the DNC always fails to apply this logic strategically. If they’ve got such huge masses ready to vote blue no matter who, then what’s the harm in switching to another candidate?

      What about independents? I think you need their votes to win, too.
